Specific cases of withdrawal of work in general contracting contracts

The penalty for withdrawing the work from the defaulting contractor is one of the pressing penalties, which represents one of the privileges granted to the contracting administration authority to compel the contractor to fulfill his obligations as agreed upon in the contract. According to this, the contracting authority may replace him or assign the implementation to another contractor to correct the mistakes committed by the original contractor, provided that this is done at his expense and under his responsibility.
The relationship does not end and remains in effect with the original contractor, and this discretionary power granted to the administration is not absolute, as it may harm the contractor. Therefore, controls and guarantees have been established to protect the contractor from abuse by the administrative authority. The power to impose this penalty stems from the administration's responsibility to ensure the regular functioning of the public facility and the primacy of the public interest over private interests.
